MLB Rule changes affect PT as well?

Will 26 man roster, minimum 3 batters faced be used in Perfect team?

This would change some strategies.

How about a PT home run derby?

I certainly hope not - PT is a historical simulation and these rules (technically) still haven't been put into use.

Just because Rob Manfred is hell-bent on wrecking MLB doesn't mean we have to let him wreck PT, too.

I find it funny

That they have implemented a 26 man roster and a 3 batter minimum for a reliever in the same season. Isn't the LOOGY concept what made 8 man bullpens commonplace? Won't the 3 batter rule effectively eliminate the 8th, and maybe even the 7th, reliever?

It does seem a bit of belt-and-suspenders

Not necessarily. For context, I would recommend these two articles (because these people are way smarter than me):

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...lan-to-fix-it/ (you probably only need to read the 1st half as the 2nd half shifts more towards proposing an alternative rules change which we're obviously not going to get [though it is interesting how it parallels some high end roster builds in PT!])
